We’ll have an updated fishing report for you tomorrow, with most area charters reporting that legal limits have been met each day– great news for you angling enthusiasts! UV index is about a 9-10 this week, which means high SPFs are recommended for all ages. It’s a great week to be out on the water or holed up at the Tiki Bar with a nice cold drink.

Mother’s Day is almost here — make your reservation now!
Being a Mom today is no easy task. So for all the mothers in your life, show them you care by making your reservation now– before it’s too late! Leave the elaborate flower arrangements and last-minute chocolates alone and give mom something she’ll really love: a delicious meal with her family, the memory of which she’ll be able to treasure forever. Fishing ReportHere in Marathon the fishing is heating up almost as fast as the temperature! The scramble for big grouper began May 1st when the season opened, with most boats reporting limits being met on every trip out. All of the grouper species seem to be getting a big boost from the stricter rules that were recently put into place, with average catches ringing in as significantly larger than they were just three years ago. Dolphin (also known as Mahi-Mahi) are reported to be running hard along the offshore weedlines, with scoolies as well as bigger fish sighted in abundance. Sailfish are also being reported as plentiful, thanks to the warmer weather which results in bold striking of live bait and jumping wildly when hooked. Almost all local charters have reported between 10 and 30 releases a day, which even for this time of year is spectacular. What are you waiting for? Grab your gear and get on out there! If you’re at a loss as to which charter best fits your needs or simply need directions to the nearest bait shop, ask one of the helpful front desk agents at Tranquility Bay. They’ll point you in the right direction!

Throwdown! with Bobby Flay filmed at Tranquility BayLast night’s Episode of Throwdown! with Bobby Flay was filmed right here at beautiful Tranquility Bay! Bobby challenged Jim Brush and Alison Sloat, four-time winners of Nation’s Best Key Lime Pie by the American Pie Council and owners of the local Key West Key Lime Pie Company. It was a close call, but in the end Bobby narrowly won with his clever addition of coconut rum to his pie’s whipped topping. It was a fun night for everyone, and an honor for such a distinguished chef to come to the Keys and challenge our local pie experts. If you want to try Bobby’s pie recipes from the episode, they are available here. Commercial air returning to the Middle KeysCommercial air travel is once again returning to the Middle Keys!
